Tasted Real Beijing Food on a Wonderful Tour!

Our Go2 China experience was flawless. JJ was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about local culture. She introduced us to real Beijing flavors — from juicy dumplings and roasted meats to sweet tanghulu. Everything was arranged with care, and JJ always made sure everyone felt comfortable. Go2’s communication was also excellent before and after the trip. Highly recommend!

Worth it

Friendly, brief, but yummy! Our family enjoyed tasting delicious food with the local guide Fiona, who was able to show us good spots despite there being rain for our tour

Like having a local foodie friend in Beijing

We had the best time with Fiona! She kindly listened to our food requests and created a custom food tour for us. She took us to local restaurants and shops that we would have never found on our own. Best of all, it was like hanging out with a local friend who gave us a glimpse of what life is like here. She is so sweet, friendly, and open minded, and her English is excellent. Thank you Fiona!

You should book this food tour

We had a great early evening tour with Fiona. Went to some local restaurants we would not have found on our own and learned about all the dishes we were eating. She was totally flexible and also super helpful with some tips and advice about what else to see and do in Beijing. Thoroughly recommended.

Operator response

Thanks so much for the kind words—we’d love to have you back in Beijing anytime!

The highlight of my Beijing trip!

Forget everything you know about standard food tours—this was like spending an afternoon with an old friend! Our host shared so many personal stories and hidden gems that we never would have found on our own. The Dalian Huoshao was life-changing, and the 'mystery dish' was such a fun highlight. If you want to feel like a Beijing local rather than just a tourist, this is the one to book!

Operator response

So happy you felt that way—that’s exactly what we aim for! Hope to see you again in China soon!

If you’re visiting Beijing, book a food tour with Go2 China — you won’t regret it. JJ was amazing, full of local knowledge and positive energy. The food was authentic and delicious: dumplings bursting with flavor, sweet tanghulu, and the most tender roast duck. We also learned so much about hutong culture and local dining customs. Go2 China made the whole experience easy, enjoyable, and memorable.

Beijing trip

Go2 China made our Beijing trip unforgettable. JJ went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for. Every meal felt like a celebration — tender dumplings, flavorful noodles, crispy duck, and those adorable candied hawthorns! JJ shared so much about Chinese traditions, and her passion was infectious. Go2’s service was top-notch, from communication to follow-up. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a genuine taste of Beijing!

Go2 China planned our trip beautifully — everything was organized down to the last detail. JJ was such a warm and knowledgeable guide, always attentive and kind. The food tour was beyond expectations: delicious hotpot, traditional snacks, and the most perfect roast duck I’ve ever had. I’ll never forget tasting tanghulu for the first time — sweet, crunchy, and so fun! Thanks to Go2 China, we saw a side of Beijing we wouldn’t have found on our own.

Amazing Experience

Our Beijing experience with Go2 China was absolutely amazing! Fiona made everything so smooth and enjoyable. From the very beginning, communication was easy and every detail was perfectly organized. The food tour was our favorite part — handmade dumplings, rich zhajiangmian, crispy Beijing roast duck, and even tanghulu (candied hawthorn) on the street! Fiona shared the stories behind each dish, making every bite even more meaningful. We left full, happy, and deeply impressed by Beijing’s food culture.
